Today was not a good day. There was a giant spider in the classroom. I ran out of the room and another teacher had to handle things. The teenage boys had a good time killing the six inch wide spider. I could not deal with the situation. I did not know where to go? The bathroom? Another classroom? Out to the street? I was terrified that one of the giant bastards would run up my plant legs. At last the boys brought out the squished spider and threw it outside. Thank God!
